Childhood Cancer Butter Cow


CCC mom Janie Ostrem was awarded one of the “butter cows” that was on display at the Iowa State Fair this past week. Janie submitted an idea that involved having childhood cancer patients paint the cow, and then it would be displayed throughout the fair.
Janie painted the body of the cow and then brought the120 pound butter cow to the Blank Children’s Hospital Clinic to be finished. Children and families at the clinic pressed their hand prints onto the quilt of the cow.

Here are a few of the CCC families that spotted the Childhood Cancer Cow while enjoying the Iowa State Fair!
